(2) No order for the recovery of possession of any premises from a tenant or for the ejectment of a tenant of any premises shall be made under the provisions of subsection (1)(c) unless it is established by the landlord to the satisfaction of the Tribunal that the demand which the tenant has failed to meet was for a sum of money not in excess of the permitted rent of the premises.
